ShaneC, what is the difference between and SCC and a charger?

SCC = Solar Charge Controller, more specific. MPPT = Fancier SCC = Maximum Power Point Tracking.

Why might this be considered inefficient?

SCC = Solar Charge Controller, charges the battery from solar panels.
Charger = AC to DC Charger, charges the battery from the mains.
